Microsoft enthusiastically announces that HDTV is knocking at our doors, and because the prices are likely to explode, many producers will quickly go bankrupt.
Evan Wilson, analyst within Pacific Crest Securities, estimates that costs imposed to game developers will increase four times as a result of the adapting of games for HDTV devices.
Xbox will unleash all of its power upon a community of gamers that doesn't know what to expect. This console might trigger a series of changes, positions and trends.
Considering Microsoft has succeeded in obtaining a 17% market share in a very short time, the likelihood of the new generation of consoles to repeat the performance is very high.
Currently, the indisputable leader of the gaming console market is Sony with 68 percents, followed by Nintendo with 15 percents.
But Xbox has many aces up its sleeve, and besides the latest technology included into the console, it also has the advantage of appearing six months before Sony and Nintendo's products, enough time to ensure an army of fans.
However, not everyone embraces the idea of advanced technology, because not all game developers have unlimited budgets at their disposal.
The wireless gaming is also close, and experts believe the new Xbox will include a Wi-Fi connecting module, so that gamers will be able to play online without the troublesome cables.
